New American Standard Bible
Chapter 17
25
And at the beginning of their living there, they did not fear the
Lord
; therefore the
Lord
sent lions among them that were killing some of them.
26
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, 'The nations whom you have taken into exile and settled in the cities of Samaria do not know the custom of the God of the land; so He has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them because they do not know the custom of the God of the land.'
27
Then the king of Assyria issued commands, saying, 'Take one of the priests there whom you led into exile, and have him go and live there; and have him teach them the custom of the God of the land.'
28
So one of the priests whom they had led into exile from Samaria came and lived in Bethel, and taught them how they were to fear the
Lord
.
29
But every nation was
still
making gods of its own, and they put them in the houses of the high places which the people of Samaria had made, every nation in their cities in which they lived.
30
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
King James Version
Chapter 17
25
And so it was at the beginning of their dwelling there, that they feared not the
Lord
: therefore the
Lord
sent lions among them, which slew some of them.
26
Wherefore they spake to the king of Assyria, saying, The nations which thou hast removed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know not the manner of the God of the land: therefore he hath sent lions among them, and, behold, they slay them, because they know not the manner of the God of the land.
27
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, Carry thither one of the priests whom ye brought from thence; and let them go and dwell there, and let him teach them the manner of the God of the land.
28
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the
Lord
.
29
Howbeit every nation made gods of their own, and put them in the houses of the high places which the Samaritans had made, every nation in their cities wherein they dwelt.
30
And the men of Babylon made Succothbenoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and the men of Hamath made Ashima,

Chapter 17
25
When they first lived there, they did not fear the
Lord
. So the
Lord
sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26
The settlers said to the king of Assyria, "The nations that you have deported and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the requirements of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them that are killing them because the people don’t know the requirements of the god of the land."
27
Then the king of Assyria issued a command: "Send back one of the priests you deported. Have him go and live there so he can teach them the requirements of the god of the land."
28
So one of the priests they had deported came and lived in Bethel, and he began to teach them how they should fear the
Lord
.
29
But the people of each nation were still making their own gods in the cities where they lived and putting them in the shrines of the high places that the people of Samaria had made.
30
The men of Babylon made Succoth-benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
New Living Translation
Chapter 17
25
But since these foreign settlers did not worship the
Lord
when they first arrived, the
Lord
sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26
So a message was sent to the king of Assyria: 'The people you have sent to live in the towns of Samaria do not know the religious customs of the God of the land. He has sent lions among them to destroy them because they have not worshiped him correctly.'
27
The king of Assyria then commanded, 'Send one of the exiled priests back to Samaria. Let him live there and teach the new residents the religious customs of the God of the land.'
28
So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria returned to Bethel and taught the new residents how to worship the
Lord
.
29
But these various groups of foreigners also continued to worship their own gods. In town after town where they lived, they placed their idols at the pagan shrines that the people of Samaria had built.
30
Those from Babylon worshiped idols of their god Succoth-benoth. Those from Cuthah worshiped their god Nergal. And those from Hamath worshiped Ashima.

25
And at the beginning of their dwelling there, they did not fear the
Lord
. Therefore the
Lord
sent lions among them, which killed some of them.
26
So the king of Assyria was told, "The nations that you have carried away and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the law of the god of the land. Therefore he has sent lions among them, and behold, they are killing them, because they do not know the law of the god of the land."
27
Then the king of Assyria commanded, "Send there one of the priests whom you carried away from there, and let him go and dwell there and teach them the law of the god of the land."
28
So one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and lived in Bethel and taught them how they should fear the
Lord
.
29
But every nation still made gods of its own and put them in the shrines of the high places that the Samaritans had made, every nation in the cities in which they lived.

New International Version
Chapter 17
25
When they first lived there, they did not worship the
Lord
; so he sent lions among them and they killed some of the people.
26
It was reported to the king of Assyria: "The people you deported and resettled in the towns of Samaria do not know what the god of that country requires. He has sent lions among them, which are killing them off, because the people do not know what he requires."
27
Then the king of Assyria gave this order: "Have one of the priests you took captive from Samaria go back to live there and teach the people what the god of the land requires."
28
So one of the priests who had been exiled from Samaria came to live in Bethel and taught them how to worship the
Lord
.
29
Nevertheless, each national group made its own gods in the several towns where they settled, and set them up in the shrines the people of Samaria had made at the high places.

Chapter 17
25
And it was so, at the beginning of their dwelling there,
that
they did not fear the
Lord
; therefore the
Lord
sent lions among them, which killed
some
of them.
26
So they spoke to the king of Assyria, saying, “The nations whom you have removed and placed in the cities of Samaria do not know the rituals of the God of the land; therefore He has sent lions among them, and indeed, they are killing them because they do not know the rituals of the God of the land.”
27
Then the king of Assyria commanded, saying, “Send there one of the priests whom you brought from there; let him go and dwell there, and let him teach them the rituals of the God of the land.”
28
Then one of the priests whom they had carried away from Samaria came and dwelt in Bethel, and taught them how they should fear the
Lord
.
29
However every nation continued to make gods of its own, and put
them
in the shrines on the high places which the Samaritans had made,
every
nation in the cities where they dwelt.

The men of Babylon made Succoth Benoth, the men of Cuth made Nergal, the men of Hamath made Ashima,
